"It's nice to see to you in the flesh again." Tessa says walking in the kitchen while Zac is closing the refrigerator door. Her voice startled him just before he turned around
"Yeah wasn't expecting to but you know" Zac says dryly shrugging his shoulders. Tessa looked at him as if she were looking for him to say more
"So after all of these years"
"What about the years?" He ask in confusion
"No check up calls?" Tessa ask
"Call for what? There's nothing to talk about" Zac says sipping his water nonchalantly
"You're serious? There's no reason to talk? Is that what you said?" Tessa says gradually becoming irritated.
"Atessa don't start your sh-
"Dad did mommy come back yet?" Ezra says jogging in the kitchen "Oh hey auntie" she greets her with Ezra giving her a hug.
"No let me try to call her again" Zac says walking out of the kitchen calling Fatima's phone once again.
Just when he put the phone up to his ear, Fatima came through the door.
"Babe I was calling you" Zac says
"I'm sorry, my aunt called and I went over to see her. Make sure everything was okay. You okay babe?" She ask kissing his lips and he returned
"I'm good I just wanted to know you were okay. You didn't tell me you were leaving" he says
"I know it happened quick, but she's okay. You know no one in this house really cares for her" Fatima says covering easily and he nods because he knew the relationship Fatima had with her aunt was always separate from the rest.
"Mom I was looking for you. I want to show you something" she says pulling her hand and Fatima followed.
Tessa walked out of the kitchen and looked over at Zac before walking her own direction
"Ezra you're always running" she says as the caught up to one of the rooms. There was an eerie feeling.
"Look it's me and Auntie Jade" she says excitedly holding a picture of Ezra and Fatima's older sister, who was only a few years older than Fatima.
Fatima tried to not let her emotions overpower.
"That is you and Jade. Look at you without teeth" Fatima says laughing
"Where did you find it?" Fatima ask
" Me and Bella wanted to clear out this room so we could stay in a room together" Ezra says "It was in a box that just had a date on it" she says
"Alright we'll get your uncle to move some of these boxes so you girls don't have to do all of that" Fatima says
"Can I keep that picture? Did Auntie Jade just leave all that stuff here when she moved?" Ezra ask and Fatima felt herself working up a tear
"You can keep the picture. Your grandmother I guess decided she wanted to keep some things but don't worry,it'll be cleared out for you girls" Fatima says trying to brush along out of the room.

"Is everyone up and ready. We have to be at the church in thirty minutes! Fatima I hope you're dressed!!" Fatima heard her mother yell from the first floor of the house
"This dress is definitely not-
"Ez I know. You're going to talk my head off about this dress. We are going to go to the mall after church." Fatima tells her. Ezra had to borrow a church dress from Bella and being as though this is not her typical style, she was not pleased. Zac was in the mirror brushing his hair while Fatima fixed her lipstick. She was thankful that her and Tessa had a similar body type and she could use something from her closet.
